Canada National Thread

Just got home after a long day trip.  Watched the 4x200 relay, pretty disappointed.  China really came out of nowhere there, huh?  Hopefully they can make up for it in the women's medley. 

 

Disappointment in rowing, too.  I thought both singles had good shots at making the finals, but in the end they weren't even close. A bronze is nice, though.  

 

Two more 4ths!  Man, once they start handing out medals for 4th Canada will take over the world.  Just kidding, then they'll get a bunch of 5ths instead.  

 

Hoping for good results in the pool tonight, not much else going on.  Still a chance for Shady in Judo, though.

In women's rugby 7s Canada lost to :FIJ 26-12... this is extremely ominous.

They should have won, but it's not the end of the world.  They beat the French in 2016 in the quarters, and should beat them tomorrow.  Remember, Canada lost to GB in the groups in 2016 and then beat them for the bronze later on.  Not panicking yet.

Shady is in the bronze medal bout. 

 

 

Well it'll be an uphill battle against the two time world champion Jorge Fonseca - although he was clearly having an issue with his thumb and looked a bit off in the semi.

Any info on Canada's start list for the mixed relay tonight?  

Acevedo, Mastromatteo, Savard and Smith - not sure they are trying too hard with it but I hope they make the final.

Well I guess Acevedo has to swim at some point. Seems like a relatively weak lineup, I don't see anyone other than Mastromatteo even having a chance of swimming the finals should Canada qualify.

 

My speculation is that they are going MMFF, which is the best order, and that the finals lineup should they get there will be Liendo, Mastromatteo, MacNeal and Oleksiak.

 

I guess K. Smith will swim breaststroke in the women's medley heats (otherwise all women's relays get DQed).

 

Edit: Thormeyer, not Liendo. Not sure why I thought Liendo won trials in the 100m back...

K. Smith swam the individual event so she doesn't need to swim the medley...that being said the options for the breast aren't great.

My understanding is that it depends if she got to enter the individual event only because she was a relay swimmer already or because she got a FINA B invite. IIRC relay only swimmers can enter individual events where they have the B cut.

    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
